If it’s due to global warming,then all flights into the Hawaiian islands must be stopped until we can reverse global warming.
What a weak article. The real causes:
1. The pineapple plantation companies left Maui.
2. The pineapple fields were no longer irrigated and fell into ruin.
3. Non-native, highly flammable invasive grasses took over the fields.
4. Nobody was responsible for controlling the explosive growth of the grasses.
5. The tall, combustible grasses grew right up to the edge of Lahaina.
6. The government did not demand fuel load reduction programs.
7. The government KNEW of the fire hazard posed by the grasses and did nothing.
8. The government run warning system that falsely alarmed incoming Russian nuclear attack failed to go off.
Any political party that would weaponize the US justice system to bypass legit elections for political reasons is a party that would release a virus for political reasons and yes, burn an island to the ground for political reasons. We ARE dealing with extreme evil that treats human life like dirt and I do NOT put anything past these scumrats.
Isn’t it always?
Someone will buy it all up and turn it into another Williamsburg Va...the Colonial Capitol. It was a sleepy little old town until Rockefeller bought up the whole damn town and has made BILLIONS since.

For Maui’s Destruction By Fire

HaaaawK spit.
Why did the farms and pineapple plantations close? Because the US government decided to allow cheaper imports of produce from the Philippines, Brazil, Costa Rica etc.
Farming went away, grass took over. And dozens of other failures.
And finally, it all caught up with them.
Much of Maui was built long before building codes were part of the planned development. Construction materials, electrical, and insulation codes did not exist when Maui was built. Being in a tropical climate without many storms, construction plans and materials were used haphazardly at best due to climate and cost considerations. Climate change has nothing to do with the recent event as a low key lifestyle was of most importance for many years. The unexpected was never a consideration in the communities’ development.
Geez. Never thought would be said outloud! 😂😂😂😂. Fidiots!
Developers already trying a land grab. Biden’s response would lead you to believe he is in on it.
I just want to know how the fire(s) started in the first place.
Human caused CO2 emissions does not consider that the total amount of CO2 produced by man for the whole of the industrial age. It is just 0.00022% in relation to the total tonnage of atmosphere. If one knew the math these globul warming weenies would go into limp mode.
Pro-human induced global warming scientists exaggerate the contribution of carbon dioxide as a major greenhouse gas in absorbing long wave earth’s radiation. To attract increased funding they are spewing misinformation which is not true. The fact is, water vapor is the single largest atmospheric greenhouse gas (2 percent by volume), Carbon dioxide is second major absorber (0.0385% by volume). Out of the total atmospheric carbon dioxide only 3 percent come from fossil fuel burning while 97 percent comes through natural processes. Water vapor absorbs in a much wider band of long wave radiation (4-8 micrometer and 12-70 micrometer bands), Carbon dioxide absorbs in narrow bands (13-16 micrometer) and ozone absorbs in a much smaller narrow band 9-10 micrometer). Thus water vapor absorbs in a much wider wave length band. It has the single largest greenhouse effect among all the greenhouse gases (calculated by Prof. S.F Singer (Atmospheric Physicist, University of Virgina).
Bottom line, you would have to kill every human being on Planet Earth to make only a 3% difference. With that reality, these globul warming weenies would be better off taking a walk down the Santa Monica Pier to catch the mothership behind the latest comet.
Clowns to the left of me jokers to the right…
I’ve looked at videos of Lahaina before the fire.
It wasn’t a lush tropical paradise.
It had lots of old wooden buildings.
Act Of God.
So the temperature rose to 420F due to climate change and the whole area self combusted?
I knew it had to be Trump, Climate Change or Jock itch that was causing the Maui Wowie Wildfires.
Why do editors do this
Climate cabge is blamed.
People are blaming climate change for the fires.
